Czech Republic prepared to help Hungary patrol border

The Czech Republic is to offer Hungary help in patrolling its borders with Serbia and Croatia, Czech Defence Minister Martin Stropnický told the Czech News Agency. The ministry is currently carrying out an analysis of what technical help and personnel could be used. Technical help could include equipment for monitoring the movement of people, the agency added. The Czech Interior Ministry has already sent 50 large tents to Hungary to house some of the migrants. As an EU buffer state Hungary has been one of the countries worst affected by the migrant crisis.
